Paula Abdul was recently in talks with ABC to be the host of the Star Search reboot but has nixed the idea. A source says that Paula is only off the project “at this time” meaning she could easily change her mind.
Besides hosting VH1’s Divas last year, Abdul hasn’t had any other gigs. A good thing because who really gets excited about listening to some old batty woman mumble nonsensical wishy-washy opinions into a camera. Listening to Paula talk is like playing a record backwards. There are those unusual moments of clarity where things seem to make sense, but everything quickly devolves into gibberish a few seconds later.
